WatchGuard Partners Lastline to Launch APT Blocker

     WatchGuard® Technologies, a leader in integrated security platforms, today announced its new Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) solution, WatchGuard APT Blocker. Delivering real-time threat visibility and protection in minutes, not hours, APT Blocker identifies and submits suspicious files to a cloud-based, next-generation sandbox, using the industry’s most sophisticated full-system-emulation environment for detecting APTs and zero day malware. The WatchGuard solution integrates with the company’s visibility tool, WatchGuard DimensionTM, providing an instant, single view of advanced threats, along with other top trends, applications and 
threats covered by WatchGuard’s security technologies.  APT Blocker comes pre-installed on all WatchGuard Unified Threat Management (UTM) and Next-Gen Firewall (NGFW) appliances with a free 30-day trial. WatchGuard has  extended their proprietary proxy-based architecture to detect suspicious files and send  them for full-system emulation and analysis in the cloud. By adding an additional layer to the deep-packet-inspection engine, WatchGuard’s highly respected detection capabilities now extend from the universe of known threats (malware for which there is a known pattern) into the unknown.
 
    88% of today’s malware cannot be detected by mere antivirus solutions and one of these hard to detect threats are Advanced Persistent Threats (APT).
